Course grades in ACCT 521 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Module/Week one begins on Monday and ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Modules/Weeks 2-8 begin on Saturday and end at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The ACCT 521 Week 6 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Write the message of the Individual PowerPoint in two sentences, then outline the points that support it. Slides built before the message tend to become a stack of facts.
One idea per slide
Give each slide a headline that states its point and keep the text short. The detail belongs in what you say or in the speaker notes.
Put the evidence where it is used
Cite sources on the slides where you use them and list them on a references slide (Workplace samples and sources less than 3 years old, cited in APA).
Write speaker notes or a script
Script the talk slide by slide. If the guide asks for voiceover or notes, the analysis lives there.
Rehearse to the time limit
Record a practice run and time it. Cut slides rather than speeding up; a rushed recording hides the points you worked on.
Check the technical requirements
Confirm the format the guide asks for (About 12 minutes; 10 to 12 slides): slide count, length, audio and visual, and the file or link type Canvas accepts.
A structure for ACCT 521 Week 6 Individual PowerPoint
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,100 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Topic and workplace | The course topic and where you work. | ~150 words |
| Current practice | How your workplace handles it, with samples. | ~330 words |
| Analysis | What the course says about that practice. | ~310 words |
| Recommendations | Improvements you would propose. | ~220 words |
| References | APA, all under 3 years old. | ~90 words |
A topic angle that works
Use a real document from work, such as a monthly variance report, and remove anything confidential. The grade depends on connecting it to a course concept (flexible budgets, standard costs, variance analysis) and saying what you would change.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Slide 5 shows our clinic's monthly budget report, with names and totals altered. It compares actual supply costs to a static budget, so a busy month always looks over budget.1 A flexible budget, as Lanen et al. describe, would adjust expected supply costs for the actual number of patient visits and show whether we used supplies efficiently, which is the question managers actually need answered.2
- A real document.
- A course concept applied.
